Many will remember The Paintball Jug,
developed and Marketed by Ron Saenz of Southern California. Recognizing
that a lot of paintball players out there are the type who will not burn
through a half of case of paint in one game, Saenz put together The Paintball
Jug as a way to protect paint from humidity and weather, and also make
it easy to pour into a hopper or pod.

The original Paintball Jug consisted
of a large plastic jug, with a wide-mouth screw top, and a pouring spout
with flip top lid hot melt glued into the side. While simple in construction,
the price tag was also less than other pod filling products, and The Paintball
Jug proved successful enough for Saenz to invest in a second-generation
model.

The
new Paintball Jug is made from a custom designed blow mold. Saenz’
URL, www.thepaintballjug.com is even molded in raised letters on the bottom
of the jug. The new model is slightly larger than the original, holding
a whole 1,000 paintballs, and the pouring spout is now molded into the
body of the jug for drastically improved durability. The top is still
wide enough to easily empty a bag of paintballs into the jug without spilling,
or to empty a hopper from its top.

Both the top, and the pour spout are
sealed with screw-on lids, and like the original, the new Paintball Jug
is emblazoned with a skill sticker with the dire admonition, “WARNING:
This Paintball Jug Holds The Paint That Will Destroy ALL!”

For the player who will go out, play
a game or two, and save the paint out of their hopper, along with the rest
of the bag for tomorrow or next weekend, The Paintball Jug offers an effective
way to store, protect and pour paint.
